“If you have that funny terrible thing which every artist can recognize and no artist can define - You are responsible to share it. This creative force which you didn’t ask for, and this destiny which you must accept, is also your responsibility. For it is the artist who can tell the story of what it is for anyone who gets to this planet, how to survive it.” (James Baldwin - paraphrased)

At Alone/Together Katie will perform: Male Fragility: A Night of Rant & Reaso. atriarchy’s tradition of cutting off men from their feelings and solely rewarding aggression leaves us all with stories to tell, and sometimes, rant. This piece is a critical loved letter to men. Or to put it anther way -- you're very loved, but also accountable, and nothing helps us learn more than participation.
